How to fork Neo to my new Blockchain Chain?

[prateektiwari7]

Hello CityOfZion Team

How can I fork neo blockchain and change some basic configurations like Neo name, supply etc.

What are the build instructions for this?

[corollari]

There are currently no build instructions for this as it is not a common usecase. If you want to do this you should fork https://github.com/neo-project/neo, modify the parameters that you desire and run the consensus nodes for your new chain.
Remember to change the magic number present in the clients in order to prevent replay attacks from one chain to the other.

thanks @corollari

For replying back to this issue. Yes, I clone this repo, but what I can see there are no such instructions for Mac, Linux to build. I don't have a windows system.

Can you please provide me any instructions to modify the code and build it.

Thanks, brother

See https://docs.neo.org/docs/en-us/node/cli/publish.html for how to build the code from source in non-windows systems. Regarding the modification of the code to change some parameters you can change some of them via the protocol.json file. If you want to do further modifications I can't help you.
